"That's right, yes, just a little more Reiatsu there... okay?"
"Like this?"
"Good, good. It's difficult to balance taste and effect. It's just right if the effect is almost too weak."
"Thank you for the guidance, Lieutenant!"
I am currently in the Fourth Division's kitchen, in the middle of teaching procedures to the cooking staff.
Moreover, it's Captain Hikifune's special cooking that I touched on briefly before. It's quite difficult. To easily balance taste and effect requires genius technique of her class.
Ordinary people like us have to work hard in various ways.
Also, I must not forget to warn them to keep the effect moderate so they don't rely too much on this food.
"But please pay as much attention to the taste as possible. When you're hospitalized, it's boring, so meals are the greatest pleasure."
Finally, I summarize the talk with a warning while joking around. Everyone replied with smiles.
Now then, my work in the kitchen is done with this—
"Lieutenant! A guest!"
"A guest?"
—Just as I was thinking that, one of the squad members rushed in, looking flustered.
"Yes! I showed them to the waiting room."
"Understood. Thank you."
Hmm... I don't think I had any visitors scheduled... I wonder who it is? Thinking such things, I head to the guest area.
"Excuse me, are you 4th Seat Yukawa?"
"Yes."
The person there was a man wrapped in a Shihakusho with a slightly different design from Shinigami, hiding everything except his eyes with cloth.
Ah, I know this outfit. It's the outfit of the Onmitsukido.
They are an organization separate from the Gotei 13, mainly responsible for "underground" work—assassination, intelligence units, jailers, and so on.
However, since he spoke to me in a friendly manner, it seems I'm not going to be assassinated or arrested.
What a relief.
Even so, he called me 4th Seat... I'm already a Lieutenant...
...Ah, right.
On paper, I'm still a 4th Seat. I'll be Lieutenant from the beginning of the next term. Internally, I'm already treated as a Lieutenant and work is being piled on me, so I completely felt like one.
He is correct, I was wrong.
"I am a member of the Onmitsukido 5th Division, the Rientai. I have brought a message for 4th Seat Yukawa."
"A message, is it? Thank you."
This kind of direct information transmission is also the Onmitsukido's job.
They exchange information that absolutely must not be known to others, or information with high urgency, confidentiality, or importance. In a sense, it's more important than poorly done jobs.
...However, informing me of such important matters... did something happen?
"It is from the Captain of the Second Division, concurrently Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukido and Corps Commander of the Onmitsukido 1st Division 'Executive Militia', Lady Yoruichi Shihoin."
I-I thought for a moment he was saying a tongue twister. However, I did not miss the crucial part.
Inadvertently, in my heart—
'My time has coooooooooooooooooome!!'
—I almost did a fist pump like that... wait, shut up!! My excitement isn't that high!!
Yoruichi Shihoin.
She's quite a popular character in the original work too. She's open-hearted, has a big sisterly vibe combined with a playful personality which is lovely, and when it comes to combat, she's incredibly strong.
On top of that, she has the mysterious special skill of transforming into a cat.
Although not as much as Nubatama's screaming, I am also excited to be able to get involved with her.
I am very, very happy to make a connection!! ...However, she has a lot of titles.
'What are you saying, my Lord!! It is that Yoruichi-san!! She is like the incarnation of dark-skinned eros!! Express your emotions more directly...!!'
"Regarding saving the life of her subordinate Gengoro Soifon the other day, she has no words to express her gratitude. As a token of thanks, she has arranged a modest banquet. Therefore, she requests 4th Seat Yukawa's attendance by all means... that is the message."
"A celebratory banquet, is it? My, thank you very much for going out of your way."
About two months have passed since that.
Mr. Soifon's injuries have healed, and he has been discharged for the time being. Well, he still needs rehabilitation and such, but since he can do that at home, and by having him come to the Fourth Division regularly for checkups, we let him go home.
Because if he stayed hospitalized, Soifon-chan would be teary-eyed all the time.
"Of course, I do not mind attending, but when is it scheduled? In about a week?"
"No, it is from this afternoon."
"...Heh!? Um, from... this afternoon... is it?"
"Yes. I am terribly sorry for the sudden notice."
Today!? It's currently just before noon, you know!?
"Let's have a party! Starting this afternoon!!" Is it acceptable to be invited like that in the morning...?
I recognized that Yoruichi-san had a rather wild and dynamic personality, but was she this kind of person...??
The person from the Rientai who came to deliver the message is also exuding an incredibly apologetic atmosphere. Well, if the top of one's organization makes such unreasonable demands, subordinates naturally react like that.
"Starting this afternoon is..."
"Isn't it fine?"
"Ah, Captain!?"
While I was wondering what to do, Captain Unohana appeared before I knew it.
"It would be rude to refuse the other party's kindness—and above all, it is a direct invitation from one of the Five Great Noble Houses, you know?"
"...I understand. As expected, I cannot refuse."
The latter part was whispered as if murmuring into my ear, keeping her voice low.
Well, it is an invitation from the top.
Parents in critical condition, wife going into labor. Unless there's a reason of that magnitude, refusing would surpass rudeness and reach the level of disrespect...
Yoruichi-san probably wouldn't care, but those around her would definitely be noisy.
Above all, I am fully intending to go. I will gain interaction with Yoruichi-san and use it for that!!
'That's the spirit!! I will not fail to support you from the shadows too!!'
"Then, please convey that I will visit. And Captain, since it has come to this..."
"Ha! Thank you very much despite the sudden invitation! Then, I will dispatch an escort shortly, so please follow their guidance thereafter!"
"Understood. I will pass today's duties to Lieutenant Yamada, so do not worry."
Saying that, the messenger left with somewhat lighter steps.
And following those words, the Captain told me, "You will work later to make up for leaving early, so don't worry." I understand, it means plenty of other work will be assigned later.
I love work! So fuuuun!
...Well, enough escaping from reality.
A banquet, huh... I have just one anxiety... well, will it work out somehow?
"This is the noble district..."
"Yes. And over there is the Shihoin family mansion."
About an hour later.
An escort guide—a servant of the Shihoin family—came to the Fourth Division.
Following that person's guidance, I am walking through the noble district to head to Yoruichi-san's house, in other words, the Shihoin mansion.
...I felt it might be somewhat hard to understand, so let me explain.
First, nobles have residences in a district called the noble district. And since the Shihoin family is one of the Five Great Noble Houses, naturally they have a mansion in the noble district.
And the Five Great Noble Houses are the top among nobles, VIPs among VIPs.
In the first place, clumsy humans can't enter the noble district without permission.
Among such a gathering of the privileged class, the Shihoin family is one of the privileged classes.
The Shihoin mansion taught to me by the guide was an exceptionally large mansion even within the noble district.
In contrast, the surrounding mansions look like shacks.
...Well, even those shacks are noble mansions, so from the perspective of a commoner, they are sufficiently magnificent mansions, though.
My sense of value seems to be going crazy...
"It is here. The head of the house is already waiting inside."
Walking for a while since then.
We passed through a huuuuge gate, were guided through a waaaaast mansion, and arrived in front of a certain room. Taking several minutes to walk from the gate to the entrance, just how vast is it...
"Lady Yoruichi, sorry to keep you waiting. I have brought Lady Airi Yukawa."
"Umu, enter!"
"Excuse me... please, come in here."
The voice heard from inside the room prioritized an image of friendliness over dignity. Receiving words of consent, the guide solemnly opened the shoji and entered first, and prompted by them, I followed and entered the room.
"You've come well! I am Yoruichi Shihoin!"
There was the figure of Yoruichi-san whom I know well.
Dark skin and long black hair tied back.
Although she is dressed in something like formal wear, it is quite rough compared to noble attire. And hidden beneath the clothes is a lewd body that bewitches men.
'The tension is riiiiiiiising!!'
This time only, I strongly agree!! Ah geez, just the drifting air is enough to make me come once!!
'What unit is "once"!? Details requested!! Please tell me!!'
Yes yes, calm down calm down... wait, your slang is awfully old this time!?
However, she is slightly younger than the figure I know. Younger than when she was teasing Ichigo Kurosaki. It feels like some girliness remains.
She is sitting in the seat of honor like a head of the house, and perhaps having already started drinking alone, there are a sake cup and a flask nearby. Her face is also slightly flushed red...
"Lady Shihoin, it is the first time I have the pleasure of seeing you. I am called Yukawa, entrusted with the 4th Seat of the Fourth Division of the Gotei 13. Thank you very much for inviting me to such a banquet today."
I press my head flat against the tatami with momentum like a dogeza, and state my greetings and thanks as politely as possible.
I know she has a frank personality and doesn't like or care about this kind of attitude much, but that's just knowledge from the so-called original work.
For Yukawa, it is the first meeting, and the opponent is one of the heads of the Five Great Noble Houses. Just in case, as courtesy to a first-time acquaintance, let's greet properly.
"What, so stiff. You can be more frank, you know."
"Lady Yoruichi, that is..."
"I am saying it is fine. Above all, you saved my subordinate's life, did you not? Normally, it would be fine for me to go and thank you myself."
"...I apologize."
"Here, it's fine now, you may leave."
When she waved her hand lightly, the person who guided me left the room silently without making a sound.
...Huh? Just the two of us!?
"Sorry about that, they seem to be stubborn."
"No, no, please do not mind."
"That's why! I told you not to be so stiff."
Oh, is it okay? It's okay, right!?
"Then... allow me to do so, Yoruichi-san—is this feeling okay? As expected, I will restrain myself in public places, so I will limit it to banquets or personal interactions."
"Ooh! Good, good, that much is easier and to my liking!! I will also call you Airi!!"
At the casual words like dealing with a close friend, Yoruichi-san smiled broadly.
She is a person with a free-spirited and big-sisterly personality that doesn't fit into the frame of a great noble. Rather, she seems to dislike formal things.
"Now, once again... you've come well! For saving Gengoro's life, I have no words to express my gratitude. That guy is surprisingly excellent despite appearances. And he is still young, it would be a waste to let him die there; without you, who knows what would have happened. When I heard he was injured, I almost fell into grief thinking 'Another member of the Soifon family...', but it seems he is lucky!"
"No, not at all. I only did what was natural."
She talks to me in an exceptionally good mood, but for me, it's a bit complex. Because—
"Head of the House, excuse the interruption while you are talking!"
"...What is it?"
—I was surprised!
Suddenly a voice called out from beyond the shoji, and I can see a silhouette. So this kind of thing happens in great noble mansions too.
"People from the Soifon family have arrived."
"Ooh, is that so! Let them in, let them in!!"
She was momentarily displeased at being interrupted, but soon returned to a smiling face. Before long, Mr. Gengoro Soifon and Soifon-chan arrived.
"Lady Yoruichi, thank you for inviting someone like me today."
First, Mr. Gengoro gave words of thanks.
"N-Nice to meet you! I am Soifon of the Soifon family! Thank you very much for inviting us today!!"
And Soifon-chan greeted desperately in an unaccustomed manner.
...Actually, she bit her tongue... cute...
'I feel like I'm going to awaken as a lolicon...'
"Ooh, you've come well, Gengoro! And, this is—"
When Yoruichi-san glanced at Soifon-chan, she looked surprised and turned bright red. She's stiff with nervousness.
"—Soifon, right? I have heard the story. Apparently, if you hadn't informed them, Gengoro wouldn't be in this place... Impressive for one so young! The Soifon family seems to have obtained an outstanding figure!"
"Th-Thank you very much!!"
She bit her tongue again... cute...
'Maybe it's okay to be a lolicon...'
Setting that aside.
"Mr. Gengoro, how is your injury?"
"Ah, Lady Yukawa, I apologize for the late greeting. My body has recovered quite a bit."
"Is that so... regarding the other matter, I am sorry. It is due to my lack of ability."
I don't know how many times I've apologized, but I bow my head again.
Actually, regarding that surgery, the injuries were certainly healed, but there was one place I couldn't heal completely.
That is the Saketsu and Hakusui.
I tried to treat it desperately, but I couldn't restore it to its original state no matter what... Technically, I healed it enough to generate spiritual power, but the output is child-level even if estimated flatteringly.
With this, he can hardly work as a Shinigami.
"No, no, you have apologized many times regarding that matter. Just having my life saved is a lucky find."
"That's right, Doctor Yukawa!! Thinking if I had lost Brother too, I... I..."
"Hey, Soifon! I apologize, my sister is..."
While gently admonishing her like that, Mr. Gengoro told me the detailed circumstances.
First, the Soifon family seems to be lower-class nobles who have lived with execution and assassination as their family business. It is the rule that the entire clan enters the Executive Militia, and those who cannot enter are banished from the clan.
...It's a harsh clan.
And Mr. Gengoro was the fifth son and apparently had four older brothers, but all of them died in the line of duty on their first mission. Just when they thought he was okay since he survived even his fifth mission, the sixth one was that.
If I hadn't been there, he would undoubtedly have followed his brothers.
I see, so that's why Yoruichi-san was speaking like that.
...Ah, come to think of it, was there such an episode... or not... I don't remember.
I remember the scene where Yoruichi-san entered the hot spring clearly, though.
'Me too!! My, that was irresistible... dyuhuhuhuhu...!!'
Soifon-chan was raised hearing about such figures of her brothers, and at the same time, as a member of the Soifon family, a feeling like "Those without power deserve to die. Feelings toward dead brothers are rather shame than sadness" had sprouted.
Partly because she was born as the youngest child, and by the time she was born, more than half of her brothers were already dead.
And the fact that she had only heard about her brothers through stories, and furthermore, those stories were solidly hardened with the ideology of the Soifon family, had a bad influence.
It seems it was almost like brainwashing, so naturally she thought "the weak are useless."
However, by some trick of fate, or perhaps there was a feeling within her young self of "I want to save at least the last brother."
She intuitively sensed the smell of her brother's death, slipped out of the house, and informed me.
Thanks to that, his life was saved.
Witnessing her brother suffering on the brink of life and death, the values within her changed all at once.
What foolish things was I thinking?
Brother, I'm sorry.
—And, Soifon-chan desperately told me such things.
This emotion connects to what she said the day after the major surgery succeeded.
"Hmm, so you were thinking such things. If I say it's typical for a member of the Soifon family, that might be all there is to it, but..."
"Ashamedly, even I, her brother, did not know my sister was thinking such things... I thought she was a serious and calm sister..."
Finishing listening to the story, Yoruichi-san and Mr. Gengoro spill such thoughts.
After all, their relationship is "her blood relative" and "the head of her master's family."
"Hmm, Soifon. Then what do you think now? Seeing your brother—Gengoro's figure, what do you think?"
"Um... right now, Brother has no power... So, so I will protect him! I will gain more power! And defeat the opponents who hurt Brother!! I don't want to increase the number of people like Brother anymore!!"
"Well said!!"
Hearing Soifon-chan's words, Yoruichi-san smiled happily.
"Soifon, I will let you join the Executive Militia. Gain power there, and realize the thoughts and resolve you just voiced, okay?"
"...Ehh!?"
"Lady Yoruichi, that is a bit..."
"What, as an apprentice. As expected, she is still young and immature, so I cannot treat her as a full-fledged member."
An apprentice member, huh. If it's that, well...
Ah, right. This person holds tremendous power combining "Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukido", "Captain of the Second Division", and "Head of the Shihoin Family".
Then that level of selfishness is easily possible.
"Besides, if you are worried, why don't you protect her until she becomes full-fledged? Gengoro."
"That is... I would love to do so, but the current me has lost my power, and the Executive Militia..."
"Umu, I know that. So..."
Oops, she paused her words as if putting on airs.
"Gengoro, I will have you serve as an instructor from now on."
"Instructor... is it?"
"You lost most of your spiritual power, but you haven't lost the combat techniques and scouting techniques you've honed until now, nor the knowledge hammered into your head, right? Then utilize that and devote yourself to nurturing the younger generation. I won't let a member of the Soifon family, who has made joining the Executive Militia their livelihood for many years, say they don't know even one secret technique."
I see.
Even if one grows old, accumulated knowledge and experience can be passed on. If that can be taught and shared, the mortality rate should drop a little. Mr. Gengoro who lost his power would almost certainly be banished from the family, but with this, he can arguably say he is "in the Executive Militia."
...Well, letting others know the family's secret techniques seems problematic.
But it's an order from the head of the Shihoin family, so he probably can't refuse. A meeting within the family about "what and how much can be spread?" will be essential, though.
"If you become an instructor, you can look after the apprentice members too. Be diligent, okay?"
"Y... Yes!! This Gengoro, risking my life and limb!!"
He is bowing deeply and thanking her.
He must be happy.
"That's good, isn't it? Being able to still work for the Executive Militia."
"Lady Yukawa... thank you very much. If Lady Yukawa hadn't been there, such a thing..."
"Please stop. In the first place, because Mr. Gengoro made efforts, the path as an instructor remained. I was only able to heal your wounds halfway, after all."
"However..."
"Now, now, this is a banquet. Let's stop with the sentimental talk. Also, good for you, Soifon-chan. You can work with your brother."
"Yes! I'm together with Brother!! I will protect Brother!!"
She smiles brightly. Just seeing her innocent, childlike expression heals me.
'But later, she gets twisted like that...'
Shut up!!
"Umu! Then, the case is closed. We will start the banquet!! From here on, no formalities!!"
As soon as Yoruichi-san said that as if she had been waiting for it, shoji opened and dishes were carried in one after another.
Every dish that comes out is gorgeous... feels like family safety, certain victory, prosperous business, lakes of wine and forests of meat...
As expected of a Five Great Noble House. Sparkling, just sparkling!!
'My eyes!! My eyes aaaaaaaaaaah!!'
"Then, to Gengoro's recovery and return to work, as well as Soifon's entry into the Executive Militia, and to the skill of the rare famous doctor—...Cheers!!"
"""Cheers!!"""
Taking the sake cup that was in front of me before I knew it, I strike a pose for a toast along with everyone.
However, there is one problem...
Actually, I have a low tolerance for alcohol.
...Eh? Then why did I work at an izakaya during my Rukongai days, you ask? That was the result of the kindness of the master and the landlady!! Since they picked me up and treated me well, it was also meant as help and repayment!!
Also, look closely; I haven't written a single word like "drank" or "got drunk".
I was dodging everything desperately!
Saying things like if I, an employee, drink, the shop won't run, or in that case please treat your companions, or don't you want to make the girls of "those kinds of shops" drink rather than me? Like that, I desperately ran away from alcohol for fifty years!
Well, on the first day I was taken care of, I was treated to alcohol by the master and landlady's kindness, but I got drunk and collapsed immediately. Since they learned I was weak to alcohol there, I was saved by assists from the shop side.
...However, now the landlady and others aren't here... Eei, whatever!! It's proven by my own body that I won't collapse with just one sake cup!!
"...Fuu."
Gulp, I drank it. I drank it but... the body is honest.
I can tell my face is already turning red. It's obvious my thinking ability is declining too. Maybe... I can go for... one more cup...?
Potato shochu... on the rocks...
"Ooh, good drinking manner!! Here, another cup!"
"Doctor Yukawa! I'll pour for you."
Aah!! Yoruichi-san stop!! Moreover, Soifon-chan poured for me with an incredibly innocent smile. And since she's a child, she doesn't know moderation!! She poured it to the brim!!
Al-hara!! This is alcohol harassment!! But such a word doesn't exist in this era, and in the first place, it's a time where the trend is "Weak to sake? It's because you haven't drunk enough! So drink!!", so Yoruichi-san will almost certainly make me drink!?!?
The Fourth Division was good... Busy so no time to go drinking, and if I refuse, no kids force me saying it can't be helped... wait no!!
"Oh my, oh my\~? Everyone looks like they're having fun. Can't I get a share of the accompanying meal too?"
Oh, is it help from heaven?
A man barged into the banquet hall.
A gentle-looking man with messy hair... his clothes are sloppy too but... ah! This guy is!!
"Mu, Kisuke huh."
That's right! It's Kisuke Urahara!!
The person who is somehow the Captain of the Twelfth Division, and also the manager of a shady candy store who teased the protagonist a lot!!
...Wait, but the Twelfth Division is Captain Hikifune... huh?? Ah, right. It was before that time.
"Sorry, but today is a banquet for these guys, no trespassing for unauthorized personnel."
"That's cruel! Making the smell of delicious food and sake waft around, I can't stand it!! A little bit is fine, isn't it, Yoruichi-san?"
While saying such things, he sits down and takes sake as if it were natural.
"...Haa, sorry. An unnecessary person entered, but I'll introduce him just in case. This guy is called Kisuke Urahara, well..... he's like a freeloader at my place."
"Wait wait wait wait wait!! Isn't freeloader too harsh!? We are childhood friends technically, can't you say at least that!?"
"Well, he is good at making strange tools. If you have any trouble, feel free to work him hard."
Yoruichi-san is talking while ignoring all of Urahara's complaints.
...Ah, that's right!
"Strange tools, is it?"
"Nn, what is it. Are you interested?"
"Ooh! Who might this beauty be? Are you interested in my technology? I'll give you a discount now, you know?"
"Stop it!"
Wham, a fist went in.
Well, he had the face of a completely corrupt merchant.
Mr. Gengoro is looking blankly at the two emitting an overly friendly atmosphere.
Conversely, Soifon-chan looks annoyed. I think she's irritated because he's acting familiarly with Yoruichi-san.
"If you can make them, first please make a tool that automatically does laundry and a tool that refrigerates and preserves ingredients."
"Laundry and refrigeration... is it?"
He has a face like he's surprised or found my words unexpected.
Huh? Wasn't he punched and sunk just now...?
"The Fourth Division has sewing and kitchen areas too. I want to wash the injured's Shihakusho and preserve food as much as possible. Can you do it?"
"I see, I see... easy task."
"Please do, I think this will reduce the burden on the Fourth Division kids."
He OK'd it immediately... ah, but that's right!
"Just in case, when a blueprint or simple drawing is done, can you show it to me once? It's scary to leave everything to you, and I haven't gotten permission from Captain Unohana yet."
Because letting this kind of mad scientist character do as he pleases is scary later. I have to hold the reins tight.
"Ah, of course. However, that's a good idea. It looks like it could sell for a good price as an actual product, I'm getting excited from now."
"I see, I hear the Fourth Division squad members have it tough with logistical support duties. Thoughts rooted in actual experience are strong."
First, this is OK.
Yoruichi-san and the others are looking with eyes of respect, but the main topic starts here.
"Next is—"
"There's still more!?"
"A tool that can contact instantly for emergency use!"
Prefacing with that, I told him to make a mobile phone.
In the original work, Rukia and others were using a tool called Denreishinki which looked exactly like a mobile phone. It's obvious there is demand and it will succeed.
No need to send messages using Hell Butterflies or the Rientai. Using Kido to convey takes effort. So I convey that if there is a tool that can exchange messages quickly and easily, people might want it.
"If there was such a tool, maybe Mr. Gengoro could have been saved properly... maybe Soifon-chan wouldn't have had to be kept anxious... I've been worrying about it the whole time..."
"Lady Yukawa..."
"Doctor..."
Ah, the two are looking at me with teary eyes.
The "thoughts rooted in actual experience of the Fourth Division" from earlier are now opinions coming out about themselves. It's natural they'd be moved.
"Fumu, certainly that is so. Thinking that a life that could have been saved might be lost due to a slight delay in transmission, one cannot be at ease."
"Naturally. Besides, I had a similar concept in my head. It's a godsend."
Oh my, he already had the concept. As expected of a mad scientist.
Then, just a few more opinions on the mobile phone concept.
For now, make the call function the main one initially.
Make it able to register a phonebook, and by linking, make it known who the contact is from. If registered, make it possible to call with one shot from there.
Also, make it possible to mute the ringtone, and let's add a vibration function to notify by shaking.
Short mail might work if we limit the character count?
However, this should become quite large-scale, so first test operation with limited numbers and range. Based on those results, actual experiences, and impressions, pitch it to the Gotei 13.
If it goes well, it should be expandable throughout the Seireitei.
I conveyed such things endlessly.
"...Kisuke, this is."
"Yes, I'll complete it no matter what."
"I'm counting on you. If necessary, tell me, I won't spare financial support."
"It helps to hear you say that. Besides, it smells like we can make a huge profit. If we make a profit, I'll return a little to Yoruichi-san too."
That's right... Making a huge profit in the telecommunications business is something you dream of.
But what's more important is that opportunities to know information increase.
Communicating means knowing information... For example, if an idiot contacts saying "Let's assassinate Head Captain Yamamoto" on a mobile phone, it will be exposed in an instant and we can arrest them.
Urahara seems to know the importance of such information well.
There's no way he wouldn't bite on this story.
"And, lastly."
"Lastly!? There's still more!?!?"
"A Reiatsu absorption room."
"...Hah, what is that?"
"This is something I personally want."
A Reiatsu absorption room, as the name suggests, is a room that sucks in the surrounding Reiatsu.
So if you clumsily leak Reiatsu inside this room, it's a room where it gets sucked in and emptied in the blink of an eye.
Inevitably, more delicate techniques are required to handle Reiatsu inside the body, so it's a room suitable for such special training.
With this, I should be able to become stronger!!
—When I talked about that, they were slightly taken aback.
"How should I put it, you have some eccentric points..."
It's fine, isn't it!!
Since I became a Lieutenant (not official yet, but possessing the same authority), I could rent a big house too, so just make it there!!
Or rather, unless I do that much, really, I'll never catch up to Captain Unohana!! I have to become strong or I can't meet Harribel!!
"Fuu... what I'm thinking now is about this much."
I talked a lot, so my throat is dry. The drink in my hand—
"Gulp—————ah..."
This was sake... and filled to the brim, all at once...
"Ah... no good... the world is spinning..."
Consciousness fades away and sensation disappears.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Whoa! Yoruichi-san, isn't she perhaps dead drunk?"
"Lady Yukawa!? Soifon, water! Cold water!!"
"Yes!!"
Such slapstick voices were the last voices I heard that day.
